When I woke up, I couldn't help but stare at the symbols on my hands. Whenever I stared at the one on the palm of my left hand, my mind would melt away into a vast ocean. The ocean was seemingly endless and uniform, except for the slight wave that would dissolve back into the deep blue abyss. I stared more intensely into the symbol. I could see myself falling from the sea of clouds. They churned silently among themselves as I fell backwards. The decreased dramatically in size, until they became difficult to see through the blue waters. All the muscles in body remained tranquil as I sunk further into the darkness. It became increasingly difficult to see. Soon enough, I could no longer see the faint lighting that shone from the surface of the water. I stretched my arms towards the surface, though I couldn't see a thing.

A great light emerged from the insignia on my left hand. It didn't pain my eyes to look at it. Instead of being a direct light, it simply flooded everything around me with a constant glow. I found myself standing on a clear platform, the darkness infinite underneath me. But, I saw a gleaming in the darkness. Directly below me, things began to be revealed. Small buildings and structures radiated subtly through the water. As I watched closely, the radius of the glow increased. More and more building began to appear throughout the water. It seemed as they appeared farther than me, they became drastically nicer. Off in the distance, there were gigantic spires that blazed with a brilliant and golden luminosity.

I looked back towards the surface of the water. Directly above, a single star shone dimly. It began to grow in size, gradually. After a certain point, it shrunk to nothing without warning. Then, it burst with all of the force in the universe collectively and flooded the sky with countless amounts of bright little lights to compliment the magnificent city directly underneath of it all. I could feel my eyes becoming watery. Or maybe it was because of the water surrounding my body like a calming shroud of darkness. In fact, I had not realized that I was still underneath the ocean until a gigantic fish swam swiftly past my head. The radiant green glow reflected from the bottom of the fish, back down to the city, giving it a similar, but unique lighting. After the first initial fish appeared, it was followed by thousands of others. Each of the fish traveled uniformly among others, giving the city a whole new lighting.

However, the fish all began to dim gradually, as did the city. Everything slowed down as the radiance left the beautiful city. I looked around, and everything before me disappeared. But, one thing began to shine again. It was a fish, shining like all of the others once had. Rather than a dull-green glow, it shined with a neon-like blue. The light pierced the water intensely as it traveled into my eyes. What made that fish so damned special? Then, it dissipated in a instant.

"What's Drew doing?" Asked Astra, who continued to stare at him relentlessly.

I shrugged. "Who knows? I've learned to just leave him alone at this point." Although I said that, it did concern me a bit. He had been sitting there for quite a while, just staring into the symbols that were imprinted into his palms. Drew made absolutely no sounds, except for his faint breathing that could hardly be differed from the blowing of the sand across the dunes.

"Come on, Blair. You know just as well as I do that you're worried about him. Come one, be honest."

I turned my head away from her.

Reality snapped back instantly, and something was different. I looked around, but wasn't sure what had changed. Then, I saw it. In the air, there were energies flowing to and fro. They moved around in subtle patterns. Each had its own distinct characteristics. The ocean's power flowed like a wave in hues of blue and green, back towards the ocean from which it came. The power of fire irradiated above all the others, moving much like a flame, and of the same color, being pushed by the wind. Nature's energy was displayed in a brilliant green and it crawled along the ground, mush like a slowly growing vine. The strength of the wind was the most prevalent of the four. It surrounded everything and simply flowed around whatever was in its way. It didn't have a fancy color, but it showed in a very light grey. I think I can hear someone calling. "Drew?"

"Drew! What's up?" He stood there looking around. His eyes had changed from their usual light brown to a odd light magenta. "Blair, do you know anything about this happening before?"

"No? I mean, he never did anything like this before those weird-ass markings."

I grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him violently, "Drew! Can you hear me?" His eyes slowly faded back to brown. He responded sleepily, "What?" I let go of him, "Never mind, I guess. What was that all about?"

Drew responded, "I know which way to go!" He began walking confidently towards the direction he had pointed.

"Uh, Drew? How do you know? I mean, not that I doubt you or anything."

Blair chimed in, "Yeah, you stood there awkwardly for a few moments, then just woke up and said which way to go. That sounds a bit ridiculous."

He turned back to us, while continuing to walk backwards, and said, "Look, I know what I am doing," He pointed to the insignia on his right hand, the eye, "I can finally see."

Sure enough, He was telling the truth. Before high noon, there were signs of a greener biome on the horizon. We had hardly walked for three hours before we left the desert. We asked some of the first Pokémon we saw about the desert. They said that it stretched for miles to the east (which was the way we were originally going). So, Drew's decision to change course actually saved all of us. Once we came along a nice little pond, it was like heaven. None of us had any water for at least two days, not including cactus milk.

"Hey! Why don't we get into the water?" I asked the other two cheerfully.

"Why? Do you want to…?" Astra's words were cut off almost instantly by the sound of my splash into the serene water. Everything underneath of it was crystal clear, and the pond was only about four-and-a-half feet deep. That was when I realized the error in my action. I had taken off all of my clothes in an instant and jumped into the pond that was crystal clear. Oh well, the other two probably won't even get in—

"Cannonball!" Blair splashed brutally into the pond water, creating a wake of destruction throughout the water. Her display was compliment by the entry of Astra into the pool. God damn it.

EDT: This chapter was actually really fun to write. I enjoyed, and hopefully you will to! (My favorite things to write are psychedelic dreams with alternate meanings) I'm starting to write longer chapters to make up for the lack of updates lately. My schedule is so god damned busy. Anyways, leave a review; tell your friends, all that jazz. Thanks for it all, and have a good day/night/whatever!

For those of you who like to interpret things: The dream had a much deeper meaning. I'm sure you may have realized that. But, here's some help, that one glowing fish represents someone. The rest can be taken almost anyway.
